However, strong teams like FURIA and GamerLegion lost to the relatively unknown Movistar Riders. Movistar Riders advanced to the Playoffs and showed they could compete for the top 3 spots in the tournament. Their potential is incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Ninjas in Pyjamas and GamerLegion could not advance, even though they had something to show. They were probably not prepared for the opponents they faced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s move on to the Group B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Group_B\"><\/span>Group B<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There were also many interesting and intriguing moments in this group, which gave incredible emotions, especially during Last Chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the teams seeded into Group B:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heroic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rooster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BIG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monte<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MOUZ<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MIBR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evil Geniuses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ENCE<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For most fans who regularly follow tournaments, it was clear that ENCE was the team to beat in this group. The players on this team have a strong chemistry and are constantly improving. They quickly secured their spot in the playoffs, followed by BIG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up until this point, everything had been relatively straightforward. However, the experts had not anticipated the strength and determination of the Ukrainian team Monte. Their matches were closely contested, with the team fighting hard for every round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsurprisingly, they managed to advance to the Playoffs, along with MOUZ, who also had a respectable performance but faced easier opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">That was all from Group B at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ESLProLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ESLProLeague<\/a> Season 18! <br><br>Check out how the bracket has developed over the past week as we prepare to get things ready for Group C, starting in a few days! \ud83d\ude4f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ksU9FLsDJk\">pic.twitter.com\/ksU9FLsDJk<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ESL Counter-Strike (@ESLCS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESLCS\/status\/1700990077571322304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 10, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let us move on to the Group C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Group_%D0%A1\"><\/span>Group \u0421<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Group C was fascinating, with some of the world&#8217;s top teams competing for a spot in the Playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the teams seeded into Group \u0421:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>FaZe Clan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9z Team<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Imperial Esports<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fnatic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apeks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>M80<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5yclone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Natus Vincere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The most notable performance was from NAVI, who swept all their opponents 2:0 without losing a map. So, both Ukrainian teams were a strong showing and were in good form throughout the tournament. FaZe Clan also had an exciting performance. It&#8217;s strange that FaZe often picked Mirage in the previous tournament but didn&#8217;t play this map once in Group C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fnatic was the third Team to qualify for the Playoffs. The Team finally showed some good chemistry and even defeated Apeks, considered the favorites. The last Team to qualify for the Playoffs was 9z Team. It is difficult to say how strong the Team is, as their results were somewhat mediocre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">That was all for Group C at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ESLProLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ESLProLeague<\/a> Season 18! \ud83d\ude4f<br><br>Four more teams join the playoffs, check out their journey through the bracket as we prepare for Group D! \ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/p47WHbtx9H\">pic.twitter.com\/p47WHbtx9H<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ESL Counter-Strike (@ESLCS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESLCS\/status\/1703514035495288858?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 17, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And now we move on to the last group of this tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Group_D\"><\/span>Group D<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It was one of the most unusual groups, so let&#8217;s look at the teams in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the teams seeded into Group D:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cloud9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eternal Fire<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complexity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9INE<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Team Liquid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Virtus.pro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lynn Vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>G2 Esports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We had mixed feelings about watching this group. First, the games with Lynn Vision were quite strange, as if the Chinese team had a different understanding of the game. Second, G2 and Complexity were the strongest teams in this group, so there was little suspense, except for the first Complexity match against 9INE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to all of this, Liquid could not show themselves and lost to VP and Cloud9. VP then advanced to the playoffs. The team that fought for the last chance and won was Eternal Fire, who again beat Liquid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The last group of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ESLProLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ESLProLeague<\/a> Season 18 has finished \ud83d\ude4f<br><br>Here is how the bracket of Group D has developed over the past week! \u2935 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BnYFRsIKEf\">pic.twitter.com\/BnYFRsIKEf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ESL Counter-Strike (@ESLCS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESLCS\/status\/1706045993697812676?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 24, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, here is a clear Playoff bracket: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The bracket for the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ESLProLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ESLProLeague<\/a> Season 18 Playoffs is SET! \ud83d\udd12 <br><br>Check out where your favorite team is starting their playoff campaign \ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/p5VNvv9J8E\">pic.twitter.com\/p5VNvv9J8E<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ESL Counter-Strike (@ESLCS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESLCS\/status\/1706041860441985152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 24, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first Playoff match will take place on September 26 at 16:30 EEST.
